COMBINE OPERATION
Ground Travel Speed
Power is transferred from the engine to the three
speed transmission by the hydrostatic drive unit.
Different grounds speeds are available in each
transmission gear range. The ground travel speeds
are shown under “Approximate Travel Speeds,”
See Travel Speed Chart in Specifications Section
of this manual. Press the ground speed touch
switch (1) and use the digital tachometer to check
the ground travel speed (2).
The correct ground speed is important. A ground
speed which is too fast will cause an overload
condition. A ground speed which is too slow will not
give efficient operation. A ground speed that is too
fast over rough terrain will cause early wear and
possible damage to the Combine.
NOTE: The hydrostatic pump on the Rice Combine
only is equipped with a pressure override valve. This
valve is to prevent an overload of the hydrostatic
system. The valve is part of the pump assembly and
is not adjustable. During normal operation the
pressure override valve will cause the Combine to
slow down or stop completely according to
conditions. When this occurs put the propulsion
control lever in the NEUTRAL position, shift the
transmission to a lower gear and continue operation.

WARNING: Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all
times. Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning,
crossing slopes, and on rough, slick, or muddy surfaces.
